In partnership in Boston with Bertram Goodhue and then with Frank William Ferguson (1892–1913) he became identified with the Gothic Revival style, particularly in church (the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (1915–41), New York) and collegiate architecture (West Point (1903–10), Princeton University (1907–29)).
